I am loving the weather today. It's not hot! There is a nice breeze and I don't need the AC on. I'm not sure I could handle the weather where I grew up ever again, but I do miss the cooler weather. I'm always excited for winter to arrive around here. In a few more months we might even get some rain! I don't know the last time we had rain...

I don't have any pictures (darn camera is still not cooperating with me about downloading pictures.) My tackle today is the kids' clothes. I am working my way through all of their clothes taking out the baskets of stuff that's too small. I'm also reorganizing their dressers and the closet. I have so many little boy clothes from Anthony, I have to figure out what to do with them. I wonder if baby clothes would sell at a yard sale? We're having one next week. I guess I can just donate whatever is left over.

Those of you with multiple blogs or private blogs...if you could add a link to your blog when you comment, that would be GREAT!

And...here we go!

1. I enjoy sleeping.

2. What my dad would think about having a grandson is something I wonder about often lately.

3. In your heart, you knew you were going.

4. Take Amelia, add a little water and dish soap and a few dishes in the sink and you end up with a mess, and a very happy entertained kid. (totally worth the mess!!)

5. Life has gifted me with two amazing children, things are never ever boring at my house.

6. Sleeping in is an instant vacation.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to having a nice night,without anyone having to get up at 5 for work, tomorrow my plans include a birthday party and Sunday, I want to sleep in (are you noticing a theme in my life? I need more sleep lol)!

My sister has 3 girls. Dorothy 5, Emma 3 and Lilly 2. This morning Amelia decided that we were going to pretend to be her cousins. She assigned us each a role, then had me call Grandma so she could tell her about it. All day she has been in character as Dorothy. She calls me Aunt Sarah-Mommy. She informed Jeff that he is now called Emma. Anthony is now going by the name Lilly. Poor kid has to be confused, as he crawls along behind his sister she says "Come on Lilly. Good boy Lilly!" Did I mention she talks to her brother like he's her little puppy dog? Oh and any time I speak to Amelia/Dorothy I have to call her Dorothy or she won't answer. We've been doing this for about 10 hours now, I wonder how much longer we'll last???

Today we went to the community center to register Amelia and her friend for some mommy and me classes. After we got all registered we walked out to our cars to go home. While I'm putting Anthony in the car, my friend says, "There's a naked guy in the parking lot." Of course I looked before thought about it, not at all what I wanted to see. Some guy was standing with his car door open and no pants on. I think maybe he was changing his pants in the parking lot or something? I've seen homeless people doing stuff like that at other parks. It was an older car, it looked like it had a bunch of stuff in it. Really, I was trying not to look too hard since there was a naked guy there.

A few weeks ago we went to the International street festival in Orange. The first thing we noticed after arriving was the large amount of cops. The second thing I noticed was most of them were from the Gang unit. I wasn't sure if I should be happy about the large gang unit presence or scared.

Sometimes my kids crack me up. Amelia is obsessed with birthdays and who is having the next birthday. She knows that Anthony's birthday is coming next, then hers, then mine, then Jeff's. Tonight she told me her happy birthday party was next. I told her no, it was going to be Anthony's birthday before hers. Her response was "No mommy. I had a birthday party in my room for Anthony today. He doesn't need another birthday. It's mine next."

I'm not sure why this amused me so much but it did.

Did I mention it's 1030 and she is still awake? Thats what happens when she naps at 5 pm...

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom with two not so small anymore children, and a hubby who works, a lot! I do childcare too.Four years ago we moved to a new city. I like to sew, scrapbook and be crafty. I've lost 160lbs. I eat weird foods because of it. I'd like to lose 20 more. I rarely get a second to myself and most days, I'm just trying to stay sane. :-)
